An adequate overview of the historical background and theoretical framework of Feminist Biblical Hermeneutics (FBH) discourse(s), especially in the last three centuries, requires a differentiation of two stages. First, a description of the historical background out of which an epistemological space for feminist discourse(s) is identified; and second, a description of the development in the theoretical articulation of the FBH discourse(s) per se once this space was established. An overview that addresses these two stages allows those who are interested in engaging feminist discourse(s) to appreciate and appropriate the key epistemological elements on which feminist discourse(s) are based.
